1/2

Study of Man colt who confirmed debut promise in workmanlike fashion when winning 11-runner novice at Windsor (1m, good) last month, edging ahead last ½f. That race wasn't conducive to him running to a higher figure than on debut so he remains open to improvement.

Form: 31

Prince Of Calypso^p1²⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell

7/1

Calyx colt who shaped with encouragement under hands-and-heels riding when third of 10 in maiden at Haydock (7f, good) when last seen 9 months ago. Cheekpieces on for his return and is likely to improve.

Form: 3-

Fractional^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83

9/4

Frankel filly who showed a fair level of ability in maidens over 7f/1m last autumn. Out of her depth when fifth of 6 to Esna in listed race at Newbury (1¼m, good) on return last month but fancied to make her mark back down in trip/in calmer waters. First-time cheekpieces/hood are applied.

Form: 53-5

Forecasts

Decade Of Time (1/2), Fractional (9/4), Odogwu (10/3), Prince Of Calypso (7/1)

A quartet of 3-y-os all open to improvement. Preference is for sole filly FRACTIONAL, who wasn't up to the task pitched into listed company for her return but can resume her progress back in much calmer waters with first-time cheekpieces applied. Decade of Time is taken to edge out Odogwu for the forecast spot.
